Oh, you mean rich as in money.
I would rather go with rich as in happiness myself and the two (money or happiness) don't always mix very well

Mexico's Carlos Slim and Microsoft's Bill Gates have been overtaken in the race to be the "World's Richest Person," at least for today, according to reports from India's news media.

I think the forbes list is not updated yet.. its only based on the fluctuating networth based on daily stock market prices.. however, these guys are rich enough, boy..

Yea, thats true that Mukesh Ambani is the world's richest man.
But I don't think that it will stand long..Because Indian economy is not stable and there is very fluctuation in the Indian stock market.

Many critics have argued that Mukesh Ambani’s wealth is only on paper. To an extent they are correct. Looking at the volatility in the Indian stock markets, which can crash by a whooping 10% in a single day, Mukesh’s stay at the top of the list can be shortlived

It has been declared again that he is not the richest man.. It was just a miscalculation.

We'd all be a lot happier if we stopped worrying about who's rich or who's not rich and instead focused on getting everyone to at least a subsistence level. Not everyone can be a zillionaire.
